Refugees don't just survive displacement, they build strength, community, and new ways of coping that challenge everything we know about mental health. The Migrant Art of Coping shares stories of refugees navigating harsh borders, restrictive laws, and failing support systems. Drawing on their words, experiences, and creative practices, each chapter offers insights and activities on belonging, care, and survival. Whether you're a mental health professional, a concerned citizen, or simply curious about how people find hope in the face of upheaval, this book will shift the way you see wellbeing, identity, and healing.
